What happens when the life you built suddenly falls apart? What do you do when your identity, success, and sense of purpose are shaken to the core? Too many leaders push through pressure, burnout, and quiet frustration—never stopping to ask the deeper questions: Who am I becoming? What truly matters? And how do I rebuild when everything feels uncertain?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Josh Kosnick, a true Bridge Builder—a leader forged through fire and guided by faith. As the founder of Kairos Coaching and an EOS Implementer, Josh has a rare gift: helping individuals and organizations align their vision with execution while turning adversity into a launching pad for deeper purpose.

Through his masterminds, retreats, and mentorship, he inspires others to embrace their calling, overcome setbacks, and build legacies rooted in authenticity, strength, and generosity of spirit.

If you’re navigating pressure, leadership challenges, personal transition, or the tug-of-war between ambition and purpose, Josh’s story and insights will challenge you, steady you, and equip you for the next chapter.

Quotes:

• "My hope is to catch people before they have a fall, to realign some priorities, and get right with God, their most key relationships, and their health."
• "The more I mature, the less I feel I actually know."
• "Jesus was never in a hurry. He was always purposeful. How much hurry do we have in our lives, and how much are we missing by not being present and intentional?"

Actionable Takeaways:

• Schedule a "clarity break" each week—a dedicated, distraction-free hour away from your office and home to reflect on your priorities, challenges, and vision for growth.
• Evaluate your identity beyond your job title: Ask yourself, "Who am I beyond what I do? What relationships and values truly define me?"
• Prioritize and protect key relationships by intentionally blocking time on your calendar for family, faith, wellbeing, and important milestones—don’t let busyness replace what matters most.
• Seek diverse perspectives and build a support network—including coaches, mentors, or team members who challenge and complement your strengths—instead of trying to achieve everything alone.

Conclusion

Josh’s story reminds us that real leadership is forged in the moments we don’t choose—the losses, the transitions, the unexpected breaks that force us to confront who we truly are. His journey is a powerful blueprint for anyone striving to lead with conviction, rebuild with clarity, and live with purpose. Whether you’re a business owner, a parent, or a leader in the making, Josh challenges us to slow down, realign our priorities, and walk boldly toward the life God is calling us to build. This episode is an invitation to step into your own defining moment—your kairos moment—and become the kind of leader whose impact lasts long after the work is done.
